Two days workshop on 3 & 4 June 2016, 10 am (sharp!) - 6 pm (10 slots only)
Trainer: Willi Metzeler
The seminar is full but we have a waiting list!

English is not your native language, yet, you need to present your research results in English at conferences and speak before groups. If you would like to act more confidently in negotiations and presentations, this workshop is for you. In our hands-on training you will learn how to avoid insecurity and prevent misunderstandings.

This training will help you to develop a confident manner and will draw on your personality to create an attentive atmosphere in your audience. You will learn to present yourself in a favourable light and how to use the stereotypes connected with your nationality to your advantage. With these tools you will be well prepared for international conferences.
